I read an article in July 2015, written by a blogger titled "Is Infinix and others eating TECNO’s cheese in Nigeria?. In that article, he examined the question of innovation and value for money and submits that "TECNO have relaxed in terms of innovation, most of their current crop of smartphones in the market no longer offer value for money".

And by all appearances, that was correct at the time. Up till that time, the only striking smartphone from TECNO in 2015 was the Boom J7. The J7 is a beautiful device, but it didn't stand out much and drive the kind of hype people were used to with TECNO.

Probably because of low marketing drive for this nice device. I still love this device up till now and it's still one of the greatest 1gb RAM phones with great multitasking



The Boom J7 really is something - a beautiful design with great music and audio capabilities. And a good performer too. But due to some reasons it didn't get the kind of buzz i expect from it.

Tecno realized this early enough during the year, and things have completely changed for these two reasons

Count One: Camon C8
The affordable camera-centric Camon C8 was a hit. TECNO promised that it would wow users with its camera and it has done just that. The 3,000 mAh battery helped too.

Count Two: Phantom 5
We didn't see this coming. We knew TECNO was playing for premium, but we didn't think it would come out this good. Immediately details of the Phantom 5 went public, it became the talk of the town both by lovers and haters of the brand. The talk hasn't died out months after - and the premium metal build, gorgeous display, BOOM Player and awesome stereo audio, fingerprint scanner, 3,000 mAh battery, 4G LTE, and great performance means that the Phantom 5 will stay in the public eye for a while.

In fairness, Infinix had an equally exciting year. So, 2015 was a very good year for both brands. Perhaps, Infinix is merely only nibbling at TECNO's cheese. After all, TECNO remains far ahead in terms of sales and has clinched the position of the largest smartphone brand in Nigeria.

The year 2016 is going to be an exciting year in the mobile industry. We expect lots of innovation from tecno mobile.
The question is, will Tecno mobile retain its leadership position of the smartphone market in Nigeria?

Infinix ain't gon stop eating Tecno's cheese.

I believe Tecno's marketing strategy is the strongest. It's very smart

No doubt about that

They both did well in 2015. Let's see how 2016 gonna be

Frontier2, I'll be glad if you can tell me that tecno device that has broken the sales records of infinix Hot2 AndroidOne...

hot 2 sold very well online but can't beat the sales record of tecno n3 or phantom A+ generally.

Closely following.., Tecno def woke up from their slumber is all I know sha

They only talk about Tecno. Nothing else matters yet they claim they ain't paid robots. They can easily be identified. They are here and more will still join them..

We saw the entrance of Xiaomi last year but it seems they are not ready to compete. I will like ZTE and Meizu to try their lucks because it's like Tecno and infinix are hard nuts to Crack

The two phones xiaomi brought to Nigeria are collecting dust because they are expensive and old. Nigeria can't be taken for granted any more

aint u one of them?

Both brands are doing well but Infinix is certainly not eating tecno's cheese. Tecno has a wider variety of phones that suit people from all walks of life. Infinix is still very limited.

Very true though! There was a massive rush for the phone during the price slash!

You're very correct! Moreover, Infinix is still early in this market! Tecno can even be tagged as a pioneer in the African tech boom market

ZTE is a Chinese OEM.

Yeah, during black friday, I couldn't find it to buy anymore

what could be responsible for the scarcity being experienced nw. They had better made available this year especially now that the marshmallow update is coming soon

It's very much available ! If you tell me where you are I can tell you where to find one.

Is that article old, cos from what I gather it must be. Cos now tecno does offer value for money. I would like to see more quality like the Samsung and iPhone, but for the amount of money it goes for, it's really thetdefinition of value for money
